Jokes and her husband were amazing! I highly recommend this place. The breakfast was healthy and fantastic. The bedding was so soft and comfortable! Five stars from me! read more

We stayed here for a wedding reception/baby shower weekend. This was a first time B&B experience for the hubby and I. So glad that this was our first experience. Joka is an amazing hostess, along with Maggie, the Bichon, who is super adorable. The breakfasts are something to be experienced (sad I didn't get pictures) and are the perfect way to start your day. Joka is not just an amazing hostess, she is also a wonderful cook. We stayed in the Sunflower room (Eola Hills Room), which is the only room without a bathroom in the room, however the hall bath is right there and it's private to you only so it was not a big deal. The Inn is walking distance to a quaint downtown with some great places to eat and wine taste. It is also central to driving to other little towns. If we are in the area again, this will be a must return place to stay. read more

The Carlton Inn is a fantastic experience! My husband Aaron & I joined Steve & Lisa for a wine touring experience. Highlights of our stay at Joka's included charming rooms w/ cozy furnishings (exceptionally clean), wonderful linens (ironed, of course) & splendid breakfasts. (I must confess that I stole Joka's combo of pear & pomegranate for a breakfast starter). Our kind and attentive hosts (Keith included) made us feel welcomed as soon as we arrived that rainy Sunday. When the 4 of us returned each evening, we retired to the "Salon" for more conversation, chocolate & a little night cap. It was always so relaxing to return to The Inn. Do not hesitate to book some time at The Carlton. You will not be disappointed... read more

Just back from a long weekend stay at the Carlton Inn. I would highly recommend staying here. Joka and Kief were excellent hosts. They were available but not intrusive and very knowlegable about the area. The Inn is very charming, clean and creatively decorated. breakfasts were fantastic. Just like the pic's you see on the website. There is a nice sitting area outside as well as inside to visit with others. Our room was one of the ones upstairs and was very comfortable. read more

Yoka and Fredrick our host and hostess were wonderful. Felt like we were home. The home is lovely with great ambiance. Food was fabulous. We were hooked on the Dutch coffee Yoka made for us. Lovely people and cozy placed to stay. Our rooms were large and had all the comforts. Close to town and wine tasting. We would stay again. Had a "girls vacation" with wine tasting and restaurant hopping. Great place! read more

The Carlton Inn - Yoka and Fredrick on the ends. Great host and hostess! Felt like home. - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Carlton, Oregon

The hostess is very sweet and the property is very convenient (easily walkable) to downtown Carlton. If you're not staying in an Airbnb/VRBO, this is definitely your best bet. If you're a BNB skeptic, as I am, I can assure you that I found this inn to be very clean and the linens and towels were lovely. Rooms with and without an attached bath are available. A good value for your money. read more

The food was delicately prepared & beautifully displayed, but I would like to talk about another special & unique "touch." I am retired, and was traveling alone. Joka very kindly called to check on me when she noticed I was a bit late getting back to Lil' Suzi. Who does that? Who cares about someone they have never met before and makes the extra effort to check the welfare of their guest out of the goodness of their hearts? Joka does, and I was very touched. read more

This little gem is a must see when spending time in the Willamette Valley. Yoka and Keefe are wonderful hosts. The Dutch theme in the house (105 years old) is really special. Sanitization and all precautions taken to insure the safety of the guests. Beds are supersoft and extremely comfortable. Garden room downstairs near the back patio area is a great location. The morning breakfast also fabulous. Fantastic hosts. Close to local eateries. read more

This was a great place to stay! Joka is so friendly and welcoming. Her inn is a perfect reflection of her personality, filled with flowers and what she calls "all my stuff", which makes it very charming and fun. Everywhere you look there is something beautiful, cute, or funny to enjoy. We stayed in the Dundee Hills Room which is on the small side, but still comfortable. The walls are a sunny yellow and the decor is homey and pleasant. Joka is a great host. She did everything to make sure we were comfortable and happy. She suggested that we might like to try some wineries in town and we ended up enjoying a tasting at Troon Vineyards that afternoon at her recommendation. Breakfast was delicious (we especially loved the Parisian croissants and the mango juice was amazing!) and was even more delightful for her company. Thanks, Joka, for a very enjoyable stay! read more

What a great little home for a B&B. From the shiny and warm wood floors, to the lovely antique furnishings - it was very comfy and cozy staying here. But, when we got into our bed, the sheets, the sheets, were dreamy and soft as a baby's skin or is it a kitten? Hokey I know, but true all the same! I actually ended up ordering some of my own sheets! It was either that or stealing them right off her bed! The bed itself also was very luxurious. The walls are NOT paper thin so we did not hear anyone though their room was right next door to ours. The location is on the same street as all those wine tasting places so we could walk on home after we were through imbibing all that lovely and heady wine we drank. And in the morning, fresh coffee, homemade and local blueberry scones, local pears/peaches/berries, homemade organic yogurt and granola, organic vegetarian fritatta with local basil, veggies topped off with black chocolate cherry tomatoes. Not only is Karen a wonderful cook but she makes you feel instantly comfortable in her B&B. read more

Wonderful everything! This is a little gem of a place. A gracious host, cute little doggy (Maggie), great breakfasts, a comfy bed, and just all the perfect little touches! read more

My wife and I stayed here and had a wonderful time. The innkeeper, Joka, is hands down the kindest and most attentive innkeeper we have ever met. When my wife was feeling ill, Joka treated her like family and personally looked after her. She is a special person. She has put a lot of effort to make her guests feel comfortable. Everything is first class and well thought out. There is a reason this place should and will never get bad review. read more

My husband surprised me with a weekend trip here and I could not have asked for a better surprise! This beautiful inn has a wonderful, relaxed feel that instantly makes you feel at home. We stayed in the Dundee Hills Room, which had a beautiful view out the window and was great with it's own bathroom and plenty of space. We loved that there were restaurants that we could walk to and that there were literally hundreds of vineyards in the surrounding areas, making this a wine-taster's dream location! My husband and I even ventured to say that the views were superior to Napa because of the beautiful rolling hills and the quaint nature. But above all else, the hospitality from Joka, the Innkeeper, is what makes this B&B so spectacular. We loved her so much that we would almost rather stay and hang out with her than go wine-tasting! She is the perfect hostess and her breakfasts are to die for..not to mention the amazing Dutch coffee! We definitely plan on making another trip out here! read more

Sweet little cottage close to town. The most heavenly bedding! The Inn owner was so friendly and engaging. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Beer and wine was also offered. Sweet spot for this area. Not too many restaurants were open on the Monday night we stayed in town only downside. Highly recommend for wine tasting at the local wineries in the area. read more

Great home, great location, great hostess. That's what makes a B&B, right? We stayed two nights at this B&B in downtown Carleton and it made for an excellent weekend in the valley. The rooms are spacious and have en-suite bathrooms with the so-soft sheets. Breakfast is tasty and served up at 9am. There's a nice living room sitting area with TV, a back patio for enjoying wine and social time, a full compliment of glassware for enjoying said wine time, and plenty of other home-y options to make you feel comfy. The location is super ultra convenient to all the tasting and dining options downtown. A short five or six block walk. Ideal. So if you don't want to drive back to PDX after tasting or you're from out of the area and need a home base, this is a great spot for it. read more

I haven't stayed in many B&Bs before, and after one night at The Carlton Inn, I'm completely hooked. Nestled in the middle of Oregon's wine country, this inn was inviting and unbelievably comfortable. The proprietors, Edward and Heidi Yates, are as kind and friendly as can be, and at once I felt like I was staying the night in the house of an old friend. There are 4 rooms -- 3 have adjoining baths, and the fourth has a bathroom across the hall. In the morning, juice, coffee and teas were available at 7:30, and breakfast was served in the dining room at 9. All of the guests eat breakfast together -- Edward and Heidi made the most unbelievable breakfast: it started with a fruit plate with pears, strawberries, oranges, cantaloupe, and raspberries, followed by fig and pecan scones, and homemade yogurt and homemade granola. The main course of breakfast was a wild Chanterelle and roasted red pepper frittata garnished with Danish blue cheese, fried sweet potatoes, and an assortment of heirloom tomatoes. For the meal, company, and a comfortable stay, a price of $125 for two was unbelievably reasonable. HIGHLY recommended. This place is a gem! read more

We just got back from a wonderful weekend in Oregon Wine Country, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Carlton Inn. The owner/innkeeper Karen is an absolute delight and a wonderful chef. Her breakfast was served promptly at 9am (coffee & tea are out at 7:50am) and the fresh fare that she serves is perfect. Great flavors & very hearty for the long wine-tasting day ahead. The house is clean & well-maintained. The rooms are cozy (microfiber sheets!) and bright. The gardens are lovely & there is plenty of glassware for your take-home bottles. The location of the Inn is very close to downtown Carlton, so you are able to easily walk to the local shops, cafes & wine tasting rooms. Overall, a very enjoyable oasis in this sleepy little town. We'll be back! read more

A 2 night stay at this lovely BnB. There is a new proprietor, Karen, is a delightful bubbly host. Fresh baked cookies in our room on arrival. Spotless rooms. It was a bit vacant mid-week in Oregon wine country in the off-season, but a very pleasant stay. Bed was comfy and cozy. Karen's breakfasts were plentiful and tasty. We liked it so much we'll probably stay here next time we're in the area. It was an exceptionally pleasant stay and with the yelp deal it was a steal. Of note Carlton is also particularly sleepy this time of year and not much in terms of dinner options We ate mostly in nearby McMinnville. There are some decent lunch options in town and though a number of wine tasting options on the weekends. read more

Date of stay, 5-2014. This review is a pleasure to write- it is so seldom that I find a business that clearly rises above the rest in every way, but the Carlton Inn has done just that and I would rate it higher than 5 stars if I could. It is located perfectly- right in town and within walking distance of multiple restaurants, wine-tasting rooms and general services such as the post office. The home itself is kept spotlessly clean, tastefully-furnished and completely free of the "older home aromas" so common in a home of this vintage. The rooms are quiet and the beds very comfortable- noticeably better than what you'll find in moderately-priced hotels. I slept exceptionally well every night. The grounds surrounding the home are very well-maintained and quite beautiful with a large variety of plants and a small garden that provides home-grown, delicious breakfast fruits and vegetables. I cannot say enough about the breakfast. Karen (the Inn Keeper) has set the bar so high in terms of serving incredible breakfasts that you will leave feeling completely, utterly spoiled beyond recognition. Imagine this: homemade granola with nuts (including local filberts), tomato basil frittata, mango/strawberries with basil infused simple syrup, homemade yogurt (the best I've had), fresh, delicious coffee. The next morning was the creamy polenta with sautéed veggies and ham (from Carlton Farms), fresh strawberries,watermelon and kiwi with a delicious coconut/lime cream sauce on it and the homemade yogurt and granola. I would go back again just to get the breakfast! The home has fast wi-fi throughout. And finally, the main reason this B&B is now my personal favorite (having stayed in at least 20-25 over the several years) is the owner. Karen manages and operates this Inn better than any I have visited. You would think she was specifically designed for the job- attention to detail, professional (but very warm and friendly), an easy smile and always attentive to her guests. read more

We loved our two night stay at the Carlton Inn. A perfect location for enjoying all Carlton attractions. The Inn is charming, our room was beautiful and so comfortable. Inn keeper Joka is a delight. From the warm welcome, to the engaging company, to the most comfortable bed, and toiletries, to a spectacular breakfast. We did not want to leave. read more

This place was a wonderful retreat. We felt such a relaxing peacefulness and all the little touches were so well thought out.

Such terrific hosting. read more

The Carlton Inn - V-day thoughtfulness - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Carlton, Oregon

Delightful experience. Beautiful kitschy furnishings, very comfortable bed, great parking, tasty breakfast. Little touches abound. One of those - early loud chicken wake-up - might be points off in a lesser property. Here, it added to the charm. Walking distance to all that Carlton has to offer, and Carlton itself is pretty central to all of the Willamette Valley wineries, restaurants and simply gorgeous countryside. Thanks Joka! read more

We loved our time with Joka and Keif and their granddaughter Madeline. This house is charming, the bed was comfortable and we felt very welcome and cared for throughout our stay. Joka went out of her way to create an environment that is homey but with very luxurious touches. She is a fabulous cook and when we decided to go for a day up the coast she packed us the most amazing picnic to take with us. This is a unique experience for someone who WANTS to connect with others...not for those who desire isolation in their travels. We got to meet and connect with the other guests as well as our hosts and it truly added to the full experience. read more

Joka and her husband Keif (I hope I spelled that right) are some of the most kind, welcoming and all around beat host I have ever had the pleasure of being near. From the incredible breakfast, to them both going out of their way to tell you what to see and do it was just a lovely stay. Joka made a cake and we all wore special hats and sang happy birthday to one of the visitors. All around the highlight of our trip and we will come back! Don't forget her beautiful little pup Maggie who always welcomed us home . Thank you both for going above and beyond to make our trip special, it was like being around family only better read more

This is the most amazing stay. The owners are so very kind. They anticipated all of our needs and made us feel so welcomed. I highly recommend staying here. Great wine shops within walking distance. You'll love your stay! read more

Joke is the brand new manager at the Carlton Inn! She makes this place like a home away from home! Super cute, great company, comfy bed, warm breakfast, and lots of love and laughter! Definitely coming back! read more

On a road trip through the Pacific Northwest. Stayed two nights at the Carlton Inn and we were treated to the warmest, most honest hospitality EVER. Charming turn of the century home, welcoming and toasty on a rainy day. Our hostess Joka went over and above to make sure our every need was met. She is the brightest bubble Holland ever produced! Well appointed room with its own bath (and jacuzzi!), with a bed and linens that made it feel like sleeping on clouds. Dutch coffee followed by gourmet breakfast in the morning, great tips for local wineries, restaurants and attractions and a true feeling of welcome home on return. A very nice French restaurant to walk to, local honey for sale and delicious Pinot Noir at every turn. We will be back, that's a fact. read more

Beautiful room, bountiful and tasty breakfast with homemade baked goods and local produce, walkable to some great dinner options. My favorite space was the airy back porch next to the garden - perfect for reading a chapter or two after a full day of tastings. read more

I can't begin to say enough good things about this place. We spent a weekend there last fall during harvest, and had a wonderful experience. We stayed in the suite, which was large and spacious, with plenty of room to spread out. The bathroom was bright and spacious, having been recently renovated. We particularly enjoyed being able to walk to the wine tasting rooms in town, and didn't get back in our car for two days. (reviews on the tasting rooms coming...) Heidi was a gracious hostess, and Jake... well, we've never met a cooler dog! He spent alot of time hunting a fly that happened to be in the living room, much to our amusement. Heidi is also a terrific cook, and presented us with fresh everything. The fruit was all local, and she even had raspberries and blackberries that she picked herself. She prepared omelettes for us, and even showed us the eggs she used. They looked nothing like anything you'd see in a grocery store, with different colored shell and funny shapes. Needless to say the omelettes were excellent the first day, and the salmon hash was a knockout the second. Heidi is also extremely knowledgeable about the local wineries, and marked up out map for us with suggestions when we departed for Eugene. We went to Cuvee restaurant (review to follow), which was excellent, and did small plates at the wine bar in town the second night. Highly recommended read more

We stayed at the Carlton Inn over a weekend to attend a winery event. We've travelled a lot and can say that staying at the Carlton Inn was a special experience. The location is great, the rooms are roomy and comfortable and the home is decorated in a really charming way. The very best part was the hosts, Joka and her husband. Joka is a fantastic host - charming, sweet, helpful, accommodating and she makes a killer breakfast. She made us feel right at home. We will be back! read more

We stayed at the Carlton Inn B&B for a couple nights while exploring the Willamatte Valley. We were greeted by Innkeeper Karen and the smell of fresh baked banana bread wafting from the kitchen. I don't think the banan bread (being prepared for our breakfast in the morning) was planned to coincide with our arrival, but it took our already good first impression and put it over the top. Karen showed us around and gave us a little history on the 99 year old home at the same time. She took her time to tell us about the Inn's amenities and some things to see and do around town. More specifically, since there aren't a lot of places open to eat on a Monday night in Carlton, a new restaurant & pub within walking distance (Barrel 47). We settled into our very comfortable room at the top of the stairs. We found bed found to be very, very comfortable. The sheet set had to be one of the most comfortable I've ever experienced. The bathroom has access from the sitting room connected to our room or by going across the hall. It was well stocked and immaculate. The breakfasts we had the two mornings we were there, the meals were amazing! Karen sets the bar pretty high and consistently overachieves. The food was fresh and sumptuous each morning. I particularly liked her homemade granola and yogurt. There were always fresh baked goods to be had as well. We would not hesitate to return to the Carlton Inn or to recommend to others. read more

Karen (the owner) is super sweet and very accommodating. The rooms are quaint, quiet and breakfast was a homemade, sit down, full meal every morning. The inn is within walking distance to several wineries & restaurants in the downtown Carlton area, we would highly recommend staying here. FYI-the downstairs suite is the largest room and the most secluded. We hope to see Karen again! read more

A wonderful Inn right in the heart of Oregon's Wine-Country. Karen is a great host, and she has done a great job re-modeling and decorating the rooms. Delicious breakfast and lots of good advice to help you plan your day visiting local wineries. read more

We had a fabulous stay at the Carlton Inn over Labor Day weekend. The house is beautifully renovated, and the rooms are nicely appointed. Heidi was very knowledgeable about the area and knew the best wineries to hit. She's also a hell of a cook! Breakfast was wonderful, and was made using fresh local ingredients. Can't wait for our next visit! read more

Absolutely love this place. It feels like home, but with better everything. Karen the host is wonderful and accommodating. This time there were cookies in our room. Awesome. Really the best B&B in Carlton. Absolutely the best breakfasts. We always enjoy sitting out on the back patio and relaxing. Also, the Carlton pool is only a few blocks away (like everything in Carlton). You really can't go wrong here. Casual, not stuffy in the least. Relaxing. We look forward to staying here. read more

We just got back from a quick trip to the Oregon Wine Country. We stayed in Carlton at the Carlton Inn. We would highly recommend it. Karen the innkeeper was just the right amount of friendly. We have stayed in many B&Bs. Sometimes it can feel like you are an intruder in their home, not here. Karen was informative and helpful but not looking to be our new best friend. Her breakfast was the tops. Everything was fresh and delicious. Her Inn is located within walking distance to many tasting rooms. The bed was super comfortable. We would highly recommend The Carlton Inn for a casual, easy stay. Thanks Karen! We will be back. read more

I took my 89 year old father on a road trip in Oregon and we stayed one night at the Carlton Inn. We arrived kind of late but Karen greeted us with home made chocolate chip cookies and beverages. We were the only ones staying there that night (mid week in winter) so we were able to enjoy all to ourselves the warm fireplace in the living room while watching the tele. I know you are not supposed to watch TV in a B&B but Dad's almost 90 so it's hard to break old habits. What impressed me the most was the attention to detail... from the comfortable cozy beds and linen (and I am fussy about beds), to the lovely products provided in the bathrooms, the snacks and beverages that were available at all times... but mostly the delicious breakfast that Karen provided. She prepared a home made 5 star breakfast made from fresh, quality local ingredients. I love cooking and appreciated all that Karen went through to serve such an interesting and exceptional breakfast. I was impressed with everything but mostly was happy that Dad was very impressed with his first B&B experience! Karen is a lovely, friendly hostess who made us feel very "at home". I'd love to come back. read more
